RE: Decided to change the support bearing on the driveshaft...
audi has no replacement part listed and Etka doesn't help. Bentley has no rpocedure on how to change the bearing.
Also, is the U-joint needs to be serviced or replaced while at it, car has 110K.
Inspecting rear differential noticed that crossmember is easy to twist (normal??).

a short answer: take the support bearing from a BMW, chop off the bracket and weld the orginal bracket to the new bearing. U joint should not need any servicing. Also, the CV joints are a porsche part number, or you can just clean them and repack. Good luck

That has METAL mounting tabs, had them in my hands!
...and why is it everytime I post something you seem to refute it, many times with false information? No offense but it's become a pattern.
Those are BMW units, actually heavier duty than most carry as spec'd by my OEM parts supplier.

in this case, it looked like a black plastic one that someone else posted. if it's metal then i'm
wrong. but i also never said yours was plastic. i said if it is plastic then it can't be modified. that's a totally accurate and factual statement.
